Euroinfo, 2019, vol. 3, issue 6-7, 71-77

Abstract: The European Parliament and the Council have among their objectives to rank its High-Performance Computing facilities in the world top-three by 2023, by building up a robust EU High-Performance Computing industry. To this end, the Digital Europe programme aims at providing funding for projects in five significant areas of interest, namely supercomputing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, advanced digital skills, and ensuring extensive use of digital technologies across the economy and society. Based on the statistical data provided by the European Commission, our paper analyses the status of digital economy and society in the European Union using the digital economy and society index and its components (connectivity, human capital, use of internet services, integration of digital technologies and digital public services).
